So we get it. Square really loves Android lately and is hiring folks who feel the same way.

What will these engineers work on? Square already offers a basic app which lets Android users take payments on smartphones. But it doesn't have an Android version of Square Register, which turns a tablet into a full-fledged cash register capable of tracking sales.

A Square spokeswoman pointed us to a March story in USA Today which stated "Square has no plans at this time to launch a version of Square Register for Android." But that was March—and that was before Square hired all these Android engineers. It's hard to imagine they're all going to sit around tweaking Square Card Reader.
